YES HI…so…march 14th apparently doesn’t exist in my world…if you’ve downloaded this calendar…please be advised: it’s wrong. good news: it’s right now! sunday, march 14th has taken it’s rightful place back in history and will no longer be forgotten. and all those other wrong days are back on track, too.

so sorry. thanks!

it’s march! 2nd. sorry.

i had grand plans for this calendar, but feburary is short and, well, excuses, excuses, i didn’t have the time for it. so please enjoy this geometric representation of the month and i promise, next month, i’ll offer something a little schnazy-er. please click up on the thumbnail for the appropriate size for your life. thanks!

considering the snow that’s supposedly on the way, i just had to get one doodle in before all of the power goes out and we run out of toilet paper for the rest of eternity & never see the sun again (quick, go buy MORE eggs! 6 dozen won’t be enough!)

be safe in this snow (if you live where there is snow), but most importantly, get a good windup, steady on your target, and be accurate!*

hello! welcome to february. it’s a fun month full of cheap chocolate and overpriced flowers! i have high hopes of receiving a delish dinner followed by a nap. man, i’m *such* a romantic.

it’s the weekend! be good! and be safe!

last night was an exceptionally fun time with some exceptionally fun people. i got to meet some new people and catch up with some familiar faces. it was so nice to be in a room full of such friendly people. the best part – that’s just how they are. they don’t try to be friendly, they just are. i want to thank all of these friendly people for being, just that, friendly. it was wonderful to see you all! and a special thanks to cassidy (and his roommate tom!) who opened their home to a bunch of strangers who drank all of the drinks, ate all of the meatballs, and spilled goat cheese all over the floor. :)

a list of my friendly friends – old and new!

so, it’s been a really long time since i’ve had time to just doodle to doodle – i’ve been fortunate to have a ton of amazing projects come my way, so don’t get me wrong, doodling i have done. but sometimes, it’s nice to sit back and just relax, and see where my doodling hand takes me. i’ve been perusing the interwebs recently looking for inspiration for new spins on my typical doodles. so many people are “doodling” these days – and it’s really fun to see. having said that, i want to be inspired to be different. i have been able to meet some really fantastic people over the last 18 months and they have all pushed me to be creative in different ways. what i’ve learned, that simple isn’t bad, inspiration can come from the strangest places, and no matter what – someone will love it. edits are a part of life, frustration is too, but if you’re lucky, after all the edits and all the frustration, you’ve provided someone with something to smile about – even if it’s just you.

here’s to a 2010 full of new inspiration, doodles…and most of all, smiles.

eva is lots of fun – not a surprise considering she’s a pal of jaime windon’s. she asked me to start a mini-brand for her photo biz, photoladylove. this is hopefully the first of 6 different mini cards for her. we were in a hurry for this one since eva is participating in her first wedding show this weekend in richmond, va! it’s all very exciting & creating this for eva was awesome. we chatted on the phone for quite a while coming up with all sorts of fun ideas. finally landing on this fun doodle, eva was thrilled, & so am i! :) good luck this weekend, eva!

p.s. the final size of this card is biz card size: 2 x 3.5in.

facebook is great. random people can find you, tell you they love your work, & dive head first into a spectacular Christmas present.  bruce found me on facebook & wanted a Christmas gift for his wife – something different, fun, something she’d NEVER guess in a million years. clearly, a doodle fits the bill! bruce & his wife love mexico and have traveled there for relaxing warm vacations.  iowa is cold. like, REALLY cold. like so cold, that when i lived there as a kiddo, there would be no snow, but we wouldn’t have school because our faces would freeze off if we went outside. i love the cold, but when it’s THAT cold, you do anything & everything you can to stay warm…including drawing pictures of things that remind you of warm weather like beaches & tropical drinks. i was able to capture the warmth of the mexico beach even though it’s about 10 degrees in iowa (seriously, i was just there…yowza). i was thrilled when bruce wrote and let me know that his wife called this gift one her favorite ever – thanks, bruce! :)

p.s. if you aren’t a fan on facebook, you really should…please? i’ll make it easy for you: CLICK THIS

i hope all of you had an absolutely spectacular new year! though i struggled to stay awake, i was thrilled to be able to spend the evening with my parents, jeremiah, the kids & of course, mr. hobbes, the family dog. i’m hoping 2010 brings some exciting new clients, adventures & friends.
